Nutician Natalya Egorova said that one of the healthiest first courses is vegetable soup. It is rich in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals and fiber, while being low in calories.
—Vegetable soup is typically low in calories, making it an excellent choice for those watching their weight and overall health. At the same time, it perfectly saturates and warms. In general, vegetable soup is an excellent choice for those who strive for a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition, Egorova said specifically for MedicForum.
Another undoubted advantage of vegetable soup is that it is easy to prepare. Try pumpkin puree soup, the nutritionist advises. Just boil carrots, potatoes, pumpkin in a small amount of water and grind it all with a blender. You can add a little cream or butter. Sprinkle the dish with herbs and pumpkin seeds.
Benefits of vegetable soup:

Vegetable soup is an excellent source of fiber, which helps improve digestion and maintain a healthy weight. Vegetables contain antioxidants that help protect the body from free radicals.
